Edward Oonnor, an estimable lad re-
siding at duPont's Banks, died there
early Sunday morning from pneumonia
although his death was hastened by an
accident which happened to him nearly
four years ago. Az that time Connor
was employed at the cooper shop con-
nected with duPont's powder works,
where he attended to the fire and boilers.
ON March 25th, 1888, fire broke out in
some benzine in this shop and young
Connor in his heroic efforts to extinguish
the flames had his legs horribly burned,
the bone being laid bare below the knees
He was shortly afterward removed to the
| Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia,
where he remained until October 18th
last. The doctors told him he was in
durable and his burns developed into run
ming sores. Healthy flesh from his hips
| and arms were transplanted to the burned
portions of his legs where the new flesh
grew nicely, but the bone was affected.
Wednesday week pneumonia set in and
his already weakened physical condition
made him an easy victim to this acute
disease. He was buried on Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock in st. Joseph't
church-yard. Services were held in St
Joseph's Church. The young man wal
but 10 years old and was q genera
favorite among the residents of the bank
and had won the respect of all by hi
manly and heroic conduct. Both parent
survive him.

AID TO FE11ow-F1REMEN.
The Wilmtngt0n Fireuhen Send Sub-
staustaI Aid to Texas

Chief Sweeney OF the local fire drpart-
ment last month sent the Victoria, Texas,
department S118 IL, as the proceeds OF
collection taken among the Wilmington
firemen, accompanied by the following
letter
Chief Il. ID, HeatOn--DEAR SIR: Enclosed
please find small token from the Friend
ship, Reliance, Fame Hose, Phpntx and
Washington Fire Companies. Our depart
ment is volunteer, and some have lust
crested new houses and are little crippled
themselves, but we are always willing to re-
spond to fellow-hremen in distress.
There were inclosed two post Office
money orders for $11812. The money
was divided among the companies of
Victoria, consisting of hook and ladder
and an engine company. The Victoria
AdU0cdte in speaking of the donation
says "Chief Heaton this week received
letter from Chief Sweeney of the Will
mington Fire Department, enclosing for
the use of the Victoria companies, money
orders amounting to $l18. IL, which was
subscribed by the generous firemen OF
Secretary Bayard's native city for tue re-
lief of brother firemen in this far distant
Texas town. The donation is the largest
single amount sent to our boys, in
| aid of repairs for the woeful damage done
them by the late destructive cyclone. and
to say that our hremen do not heartily
appreciate the generous hearts that thus
kindly remembered them, would be doing
| injustice TO that sincere appreciation
always paid to such open -handed
| liberality.n

that he regarded the opinion he had given
the President on the subject as strictly con-

worthy sources that the Attorney General
as well as the President considers the bill
which has Just become law free from all
the material features which we're objection

According TO this Information the Attorney
Generals objection TO the old bill was TO the

strength to extricate him, but in vain.
The flames were approaching rapidly.

father, "even il you have to break my

hope for me, Leave me and save yourself
But remember the dying words of your
father, always be good boy. Farewell,
my son; will meet you in the other

parent slowly burn to death.

The p, w. g. d. railroad will begin about
March 1st, the building of the South Side
railroad for the use Of through business,
and ADVERTISE for proposals for completing
the grading for this branch which will be
known as the Shellpot branch. The new
railroad will ba double tracked and will
begin at the straight stretch OF road on the
main line just below Delaware junction,
thence through the a iiacent meadows until
IL reaches the Christiana, which will be
spanned with an iron draw bridge, at a
point about 200 yards nor'h OF tho present
w. & N. bridge, or between the latter and
the & P. bridge. The line will then run
about parallel to the W. Il N, railroad,
through South Wilmington and the land OF
the National Dredging Company, until II
again strikes the Christiana below the
mouth of the Brandywine. 1t crosses the
Shellpot on another bridge near its mouth
and thence goes through the meadows in q
north-easterly direction until 1t reaches the
main line again at point about half amilt
below Edge Moor.
The branch will be over four miles long
making a shorter cut than the present cir

| line is intended mostly for through freigh
business and all through business generally
although incidentallyit will also have direc
connections with several large manufae
tories. Work will begin on the road Ii

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Eugene D. Reiners, sec
retary OF a building and loan association,
ia In iail, charged with embezzling $2,5OO
from the corporation. Phillip koehler, VINO
swore out the warrant, says the secretary
has been carrying out his fraudulent prac-
tiees for the past six months, as an investiga-
tion of his books shows. The manner OF his
embezzling was very simple. When mem
ber of the association would pay his dues
in the absence OF director, the secretary
would give him credit on his (the member's)
hook, but fail to enter 1t on the corpora,
tIon's books or tally sheets. When arrested
had nothing to say IN his defence.
